I am curious as to the different ways many people volunteer their time and talents. I have been a literacy tutor and enjoy that-many adults in this country are illiterate. I also do pro-life volunteer work but could do more. What types of volunteer work have you done and what do you enjoy about it?

I did 5 or 6 years with Girl Scouts, 3 more with Cub Scouts, and helped out with school plays. More recently I taught middle school CCD for six months. But basically, at this stage I'm looking for something else....

I am currently involved with our parish jail ministry and community garden. I have been a girl scout leader, CCD teacher and a therapeutic foster parent. I pray for God to lead me where he wants me to go and then try to listen and follow. I don't think I get it right most of the time but hope to get better at it.

I have Volunteered for Habitat numerous times, and it's one of my favs. I've also done March of Dimes, and that School thing where you go in and Teach kids once a week. I'm also Volunteering this weekend for our Church Fall Festival.. wooohoooo!

I'm assisting with the formation of a Singles' Ministry at my parish. I've been chairperson of Catholic Charities at the Stockton Diocese. I've volunteered for a children's art group that took kids 6-18 through the steps of grief. The kids had lost a significant person (or pet) in the past year. My mom had me volunteering in our church and community from a very young age.
